I have a web directory /www
and a folder in that directory called store
.
Within store
are several files and folders. I want to give the folder store
and all files and folders within the store
folder all permissions.
How do I do this? I am guessing via .htaccess.
This question is related to

chmod
If by all permissions you mean 777
Navigate to folder and
chmod -R 777 .
-R
i.e Recursive permissions.But I would suggest not to give 777 permission to all folder and it's all contents. You should give specific permission to each sub-folder in www directory folders.
755
permission for security reasons to the web folder.sudo chmod -R 755 /www/store
Each number has meaning in permission. Do not give full permission.
N Description ls binary
0 No permissions at all --- 000
1 Only execute --x 001
2 Only write -w- 010
3 Write and execute -wx 011
4 Only read r-- 100
5 Read and execute r-x 101
6 Read and write rw- 110
7 Read, write, and execute rwx 111
If your production web folder has multiple users, then you can set permissions and user groups accordingly.
More info :
Yes, very right that the -R
option in chmod
command makes the files/sub-directories under the given directory will get 777 permission. But generally, it's not a good practice to give 777 to all files and dirs as it can lead to data insecurity. Try to be very specific on giving all rights to all files and directories. And to answer your question:
chmod -R 777 your_directory_name
... will work
This didn't work for me.
sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/your/file/or/directory
I used -f
also.
sudo chmod -R -f 777 /path/to/your/file/or/directory
You can also use chmod 777 *
This will give permissions to all files currently in the folder and files added in the future without giving permissions to the directory itself.
NOTE: This should be done in the folder where the files are located. For me it was an images that had an issue so I went to my images folder and did this.
for mac, should be a ‘superuser do’;
so first :
sudo -s
password:
and then
chmod -R 777 directory_path
